He’s worked on products across AI, personalization, Web3, location-sensing, and more. His focus is creating product & testing strategies to quickly pinpoint where the best opportunities are for new products.

Building products with GenAI brings powerful new capabilities but also a whole new set of uncertainties. Teams can't rely on best practices because the technology is changing so quickly and users are cautiously adopting change. Designing and shipping products can no longer be thought about as a linear process.
Alexandra Holness, Senior Lead Product Designer at Klaviyo, joins to share lessons, cautions, and a path forward to help product teams build AI products that customers want. She sees that successful product teams will depend on designer, data scientists, engineers working more closely than ever because it is very hard to predict how customers will use models until you've shipped them.

Building products using emerging technologies is more difficult. As we’re seeing with building AI products today, teams are often chasing which use case and customer profiles to focus on.

Her expertise is helping teams make better product decisions through research. We’ll discuss how to identify your best potential customers and design higher-value products and services they’ll love to use.

There are so many new GenAI products coming to market that it is hard to believe even a fraction of them will become sustainable businesses. Ben Yoskovitz, Founding Partner of Highline Beta and author of Lean Analytics, joins us to discuss how many of these startups will fail to find a product-market fit. By rushing to get to market they’re likely skipping key steps that would typically improve their likelihood of success. We discuss the process his venture studio uses and where he sees opportunities for AI products to deliver more value to consumers.

AI has the potential to be a transformational technology. But how is it trained and how can you track authenticity? Virginie Berger, Chief Business Development and Rights Officer at Matchtune, joins us to discuss the developments with copyright issues related to creative fields in hopes of shedding light on what this means for other industries. A particular issue is what happens to business models when you can get replicas elsewhere and have no clarity on how they were derived?
We explore how product teams can and should adapt. Important is protecting the rights of your users and leveraging LLMs that are ethically processing the data that you input into them.

Emily Campbell joins us to discuss the future of UX. Her Shape of AI newsletter and community have become the go-to resource for AI product design patterns. She sees AI products getting to market with far less involvement from design than they should have. Design will undoubtedly experience shocks —with roles changing, and anti-patterns emerging— but also entirely new opportunities for design to shape adaptive experiences that offer users new capabilities to personally interact with products. We discuss what comes next after prompt-based, text interfaces.

Maarten Walraven-Freeling, co-editor of MUSIC x and the co-CEO of Symphony Media joins the Design of AI podcast to discuss how AI will impact the music industry. We look at how digital streaming platforms and algorithmic discovery have already led to monumental changes to the business and what to expect now that generative AI tools, like Suno, are making music creation easier and more accessible. It is clear that music is one of the first and most important battleground where we see the potential of AI as a creative tool but also where concerns are growing about GenAI platforms being trained on content without the permission of copyright holders.
